About Me

Beth Howard is a writer and pie evangelist. She is the author of the bestselling books, "Ms. American Pie: Buttery Good Pie Recipes & Bold Tales from the American Gothic House"and "Making Piece: A Memoir of Love, Loss and Pie." She explains her mission in her TEDx talk and in her popular blog, The World Needs More Pie, she chronicles her adventures, philosophy, and humanitarian efforts, and explores how pie helped her heal from the unexpected death of her 43-year-old husband. She learned how to make pie at age 17, when she got caught stealing apples from the orchard of a retired pastry chef. From 2010 to 2104, she lived in the famous American Gothic House in Eldon, Iowa, where she ran the Pitchfork Pie Stand and taught pie-making classes. From June to September 2015, she traveled around the world on her WORLD PIECE tour, teaching pie-making to promote cultural tolerance. She now lives on a farm in SE Iowa.
